too bad it wouldn’t fit under the tree! Or a nice track loader! I got plenty of trees outside it would fit under!
let's go, it's finally time to blow.
When I was about 18 or 19, first year out of high school I was working construction and living at home. Money to burn or so I thought.... I ordered a new 1977 Ford F250 4x4 Ranger XLT with every option. Traded in a "73 Ranchero GT with 20K miles and paid cash for the rest. It was an early '77 so still the high rider as they redesigned and lowered the F250 mid year. First thing that I did was put the white spoke wheels on with 35" tires. Still have it but has sat forever. Could be a great restoration project for you!!JSinMO wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 6:52 pm I really dont have anything other than a couple items for around the shop. I’m just looking forward to a quiet day! I guess if I could tell Santa what I wanted It would be a mid 1970s Ford F250 4X4!

That Ranchero would be a cool old one to have too. Oh all those things we did when we were young and dumb and had cash.

That's a great story Bob! I have another Christmas wish, that Jeff gets your truck and restores itmyerslawnandgarden wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 11:59 pmWhen I was about 18 or 19, first year out of high school I was working construction and living at home.
